Electricity Theft and Non-Technical Losses: Global Markets, Solutions & Vendors 2017 – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Electricity
Theft and Non-Technical Losses: Global Markets, Solutions and Vendors”
report to their offering.

Globally, utilities lose $96 billion per year to non-technical losses –
typically electricity theft, fraud, billing errors, and other lost
revenue. The effect of these losses can be crippling, driving up
electricity prices for paying customers, starving utilities of the
resources for future capital investment, and in many cases creating
financially unsustainable utilities or draining governments of subsidies
that could be used to modernize the country’s infrastructure. Until
recently, there were few effective solutions for this problem.
Labor-intensive premise inspections and account auditing often costs
more than the actual value of the losses, enforcement is always
challenging, and previously AMI metering was prohibitively expensive in
many countries. This is now changing, with AMI plans in the works across
all regions of the world.

Furthermore, sophisticated software and analytics can use real-time data
from AMI meters and other grid infrastructure to pinpoint the source of
non-technical losses. These solutions are spreading from developed
countries where they are in many cases already well established to
emerging market countries where the problem is significantly larger and
critical to the fundamental health of many countries’ utilities. This
will create a multi-billion dollar market, with companies from small
software startups to the largest metering vendors and system integrators
seeking to gain a piece of the market

Key questions answered in this study:

• How much does each country across the world lose to non-technical
  losses in terms of dollars, percentage lost, and dollars lost per
  customer?
• What are the most cost-effective solutions for reducing non-technical
  losses?
• Who are the leading vendors and how are their solutions differentiated?

Key Topics Covered:

1. Quantifying the electricity theft problem

2. Loss-reduction solutions

3. Market forecasts

4. Case studies

5. Revenue protection vendors

6. Appendix (data for 125 individual countries)
